My name is Damtew Dawit. I’m from Ethiopia and I have BA degree in Language and Literature/Sidaama Language and Literature. And know I’m working in Hawassa University being as a Graduate Assistant. If I have a chance of fully funded scholarship from you, I prefer to study:
1. MA in Linhuistics
2. MA in Journalism and Mass Communication
3. MA in Literature and other related fields. I would like to say you thank you very much for your support. Who knows, this may be the way that my God changes my life. My God will help me.
